Chicxulub
long story short: don’t google
WTF?
if you Google 67 Google does the six seven gesture
😭
Im taking this as a threat by Google.
Meteor happens (shoutout to SimpleFlips)
🪥
Fun fact, most of what we know about the impact and the meteor comes from data found during Nuclear Weapons Testing. The energy needed for crystallization at impact sites gave us the data we needed to extrapolate for the force of impact at the crater, alongside other factors such as liquification of granite.
Also fun fact: ‘a meteor killed the dinosaurs’ is more or less universally accepted now, but younger folks might not realise it’s a pretty recent theory.
It was first proposed in 1980, they found the likely impact site in 1991, and it was officially endorsed by an expert panel in 2010.
I have books on my shelf from the 90s that say no one knows what killed the dinosaurs.
In elementary school in the 90s I remember an exercise where we had to imagine what killed the dinosaurs. I came up with an implausible scenario of overpredation, and because I grew up in the south a classmate of mine said the Biblical flood killed them all and was praised by the teacher 🤷♂️
Maybe the teacher liked that kids over-active imagination?
I wonder when we’ll find out that flood basalts (the Deccan Traps, in this case) are the “exit wounds” of the meteor impacts?
(That’s my hypothesis, anyway, but I don’t have the geology background to investigate it properly.)
TBF I could find a book from the last couple of years claiming the dinosaurs weren’t real.
We used to be able to get it to do other things
“Barrel roll” would spin the page around and “Askew” would tilt the page
Who the fuck still uses Google?
idk, like most of the population of the US, right?
If you Duckduckgo Linux, the logo turn into a penguin
Aw, so it does. Cute!
I love this!
Not to be too much of a downer, but all of these cute Google search results and other “quirky” “fun” things billion dollar corporations do used to seem so harmless but now it just reads like a friendly logo on a baby mulching machine.
The orphan crushing machine shall continue crushing!
Well that was a particularly brief moment of wonder.
